VIDEO: West Seattle High School Diversity Club produces video to ‘show support for our Muslim students’

That 4-minute video is by the West Seattle High School Diversity Club, “made to address anti-Muslim stereotypes and show support for our Muslim students,” explains the club’s adviser, WSHS teacher Rebecka McKinney. She adds, “I am very proud of the work our students have done and hope it will be shared throughout the district and even beyond. They first held focus sessions where Muslim students were invited to discuss their feelings around the anti-Muslim rhetoric, how they felt, and what they would like to see done to support them. Diversity Club co-president Meron Mulu then created questions and signed students up to be in the video. From there we partnered with sophomore Sam Cleary and his crew to do the filming and editing.” The video was shown to all students during the announcements period at WSHS this morning.

    Wonderful and inspiring.  I’m going to suggest we do something like this at my school. Crystalline production/sound.  Thank you!

    uhhhh?  Where is this video where Donald Trump says he wants to get rid of all mosques?  Totally disingenuous.  Please edit that out of the video.

    Kudos and thank you to West Seattle High School Diversity Club, teacher McKinney, and students who made this video!  Keep talking and sharing your stories.  I wish Donald Trump was brave enough to sit down and talk with all of you.  He might learn a few things and I like to think he would change his tune.  Know that West Seattle supports you and is very proud of you!
